Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of coal mine, geology and oil exploration, and relates to a drill pipe for drilling, in particular to a wear-resistant and wave-transparent drill pipe for logging while drilling and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Drilling and geophysical exploration are integrated, and logging is completed simultaneously in the process of drilling, so that transparent geology can be constructed more quickly and accurately. The principle of borehole geophysical logging technology is that all or part of the working modules such as a transmitting source, a transmitting and receiving antenna system and a receiving and collecting system are placed in a borehole, electromagnetic wave signals of different frequencies are transmitted to the surrounding formation, and finally the information about the target object or geological structure around the borehole is obtained by imaging or inverting the information such as amplitude, time and phase carried by the received signals.

[0003] At present, the drill pipe and the outer tube of the logging-while-drilling trajectory measuring instrument used in drilling are mostly made of metal materials such as alloy steel, beryllium copper, non-magnetic steel, titanium alloy and aluminum alloy. However, the electromagnetic induction secondary field of the logging instrument cannot pass through the metal pipe wall to enter the formation or return to the drill pipe from the formation, and the non-transparency of the drill pipe causes signal interruption. The strength and wear-resistant life of the conventional non-metal wave-transparent drill pipe cannot meet the requirements of logging while drilling, and the logging instrument can only be pushed into the borehole after well completion, which prolongs the construction period. In addition, in directional drilling, it is difficult to accurately push the instrument to the bottom of the borehole due to the bending of the borehole and the multiple branch holes, which may cause instrument loss due to fracture.

[0004] As known from the above, in order to complete the drilling and logging simultaneously in one drilling, the logging instrument must be placed in the wear-resistant and wave-transparent drill pipe during directional drilling. However, the existing logging-while-drilling measuring metal pipe has signal shielding obstacles for the logging instrument, and the wave-transparent pipe pushed secondarily has insufficient strength, short surface wear-resistant life, complex construction process and difficulty in fully detecting long directional holes.
